I like to move my legs about every once in a while. I can do that thanks to my CC.
I prefer to follow other traffic in the right lane at a safe distance. That will usually be semis. I need to regulate the speed to match their variances in speed. It forces me to keep my attention to the road all the time.

The cramping you get with keeping your foot on the pedal is from the tension of holding just the right position....... You can't just rest your foot on the pedal, you must pay attention to the speedometer and to traffic and modulate the position of the pedal constantly. Trying to maintain a speedometer based speed is probably the most stressful. A sensor that controlled the distance to the car ahead would be a real asset. Most city folks follow way too close, which does not help at all. It means that your throttle management is more critical, and more rapid......... and far more stressful.
